‘Gun Appreciation Day’ Scheduled for January 19

A coalition of gun rights and conservative groups will hold “Gun Appreciation Day” on Jan. 19 in response to President Barack Obama’s push for new gun control laws.

Groups are calling on gun rights activists to go to local gun stores, gun ranges or gun shows in order to send a message to the president and Congress.

“The Obama administration has shown that it is more than willing to trample the Constitution to impose its dictates upon the American people,” “Gun Appreciation Day” chairman Larry Ward, president of Political Media, Inc., said in a press release. “If the American people don’t fight back now, Obama will do the Second Amendment what he has already done to the First with Obamacare – gut it without a moment’s thought to our basic constitutional rights.”

The groups are hoping to reach up to 50 million Americans ahead of “Gun Appreciation Day” which will take place two days before Obama’s inauguration.

It’s worth noting the NRA is not one of the sponsors, at least at this time.
